The problem is when a vendor needs to implement A rev 2 in a device, and also B. B imports A rev 1. So the device needs to implement A rev 1 *and* A rev 2. This is something that we have talked about before, and dismissed as being too complicated in general. But you talk about behavioural changes. In the current design of YANG, the idea has been that a module cannot be updated in a way that changes the behaviour for importers and includers. Thus you don't have to rev B just b/c A is updated. /martin _______________________________________________ NGO mailing list NGO@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ngo
